About this book
Nachielus (not Nicholas) may have gotten into a bit of trouble over unsanctioned miracles, ending up on the upstairs’ naughty list. Sure, maybe he’d gotten a little carried away with the whole Christmas thing, but he hadn’t meant to become a part of folklore, and surely that wasn’t a reason to bury him in centuries of paperwork. Banned from topside and missing his favorite holiday, he gets a push from a certain demon to pop up and have a look around. When he meets Beckett, a Christmas-loving elf enthusiast who mistakes him for the Santa hired for a fundraiser, how can he say no? Next thing he knows, Nach is in over his head again, because this is one human he can’t resist.
Beck's Christmas is merry and bright, especially after he encounters Nach, the hottie in questionable Santa attire. Nach's kindness, generosity, and charm have Beck falling faster than a snowflake. With no place to stay, obviously Beck needs to bring Nach home with him. Beck never believed in love at first sight before, but there’s just something about Nach that calls to him, and it isn’t long before he’s trying to figure out how to keep this sexy Santa all to himself.
Tags: Beck is living his own Christmas rom-com, complete with a meet cute and lots of Christmas kisses; Nach never means to cause trouble—it just seems to find him (and the reindeer thing was definitely not his fault); Nach has a very loose definition of what constitutes a miracle; corporate Scrooges try to suck the fun out of Christmas (but don’t worry, they don’t succeed); Nach is an angel of joy of fulfillment, so expect plenty of joy… and fulfillment (wink, wink).
A Beginner’s Guide to Christmas Miracles is a 30k novella bursting with laughs, holiday spirit, and a Happily Ever After that even the Grinch would approve of. Get ready for festive chaos, Christmas kisses, and a love story weirder than Grandma's fruitcake.

I'm not a Christmas person. Christmas songs make me cringe and Hallmark movies are gag-worthy. That being said Nach and Beck's story is a quick and delightful read. It's lighthearted and exactly what you'd expect of a holiday novella. I love the concept of an angel of joy, who literally inspired Santa Claus and started the modern traditions. A sexy Santa and his little elf. It's sweet and yet not too sappy for this unromantic soul. Or maybe it is utterly saccharine but it's such a cute story I...

I personally find the whole 'fated mates' trope tiresome, but Shannon and other genre writers keep penning them and I keep reading them, so I must be connecting to them at some level. Anyway, this is a warm, cheerful take on the Santa Claus myth, and except for the continual misspelling of Santa Claus as Santa Clause (yeah, like the movies,) is an enjoyable way to spend a night or two before bed. Although, with my husbear snoring in bed beside me as I read, I am a little peeved that he has...

This book was like an early Christmas present! Nach and Beck were perfect together and the relationship was so sweet as it developed! Characters from other books also make an appearance or are mentioned which is always fun to see! If you’re looking for a low angst feel good Christmas read then look no further! If you’ve read any of the other books in the series and enjoyed them then this should already be in your library!! )
